Visitor Sketchbooks: fanciful flora
Flowers and foliage appear in designs and decorations all over Blackwell; not least in our current temporary exhibition Sublime Symmetry, which showcases the work of Arts and Crafts ceramicist William De Morgan. This spring we invite you to take inspiration from the organic patterns and shapes in his work to create your own contribution to our collective visitor sketchbook.
Connect with other visitors and explore the space through their illustrations and ideas. Engage your artistic side, drawing inspiration from the Arts & Crafts movement, beautiful features within the house and gardens and the current exhibition.
